Mirafra africana kabalii White, CMN, 1943 OD here
Female adult, collected by my African collector, K. Muzeya, in Cryptosepalum forest, 15 miles south-west of Mwinilunga Boma, Northern Rhodesia, on February 19, 1939.
Erythropygia leucophrys kabalii White, CMN, 1944 OD here
Collected by K. Muzeya.

The Eponym Dictionary of Birds claims:
Rufous-naped Lark ssp. Mirafra africana kabalii C. M. N. White, 1943
White-browed Scrub Robin ssp. Erythropygia leucophrys kabalii White, 1944 NCR [JS Erythropygia leucophrys munda]
Kabali Muzeya (DNF) was an African collector employed by Charles White. He collected for him around Kajilsha and Isoka in Zambia (1943–1944) and a number of his skins are in the collection at Livingstone Museum.

The Key to Scientific Names
Kabali Muzeya (fl. 1943) African hunter, collector for Charles White in Northern Rhodesia (syn. Erythropygia leucophrys munda, subsp. Mirafra africana).

Maybe difficult to find his life dates. His first name Kabali we can find here.
